Is a diagnostic imaging test, like an ultrasound or an MRI, on your to-do list?

f so, you can count on getting the latest and most specialized outpatient radiological services at SimonMed Imaging, a Phoenix-based imaging provider staffed by compassionate professionals dedicated to first-rate patient care. Founded by local radiologist Dr. John Simon in 2003, SimonMed has grown to 32 locations within Arizona. All facilities are accredited testing sites, and each technologist is certified, as is each piece of diagnostic equipment. Patients can expect their scan to be performed by a technician, who will then send the image to a physician. In most cases, scans are read within a day. The patient-focused approach is even evident in the imaging equipment found at SimonMed. Patients who feel cramped or claustrophobic inside a traditional MRI machine, for example, will be thrilled to know they can undergo their test in a wider, “open” MRI scanner, which puts many patients more at ease since they’re not confined. A friend or loved one can even stand by and hold your hand during the procedure. SimonMed is also considered a forerunner in the realm of women’s imaging and is pleased to offer a variety of digital mammography technologies, including ultrasound-guided, stereotactic and MRI-guided breast biopsies. Another cutting-edge technology offered is 3-D breast tomosynthesis, the most advanced mammography procedure currently available and the one usually recommended for women with dense breast tissue. Emerging, newer specialties are also offered by SimonMed, such as interventional radiology – which is performed with image-guided and minimally invasive efforts – and therapies such as Xofigo®, an injection used to treat prostate cancer, and I-131, a radioactive iodine treatment for thyroid cancer. These are just a few of the many services offered. Others include: • PET/CT • Dexa-Bone Density • MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) • Ultrasound • Nuclear medicine • X-ray • Fluoroscopy • CT Scans While SimonMed is one of the country’s largest imaging providers, it’s also one of the most affordable and certainly one of the most convenient. A wide range of insurance plans are accepted, and clients always know in advance what their portion of the payment will be. In addition, our imaging centers are thoughtfully located around the Valley and some offer evening appointments for certain exams. SimonMed – it’s where you can “See Tomorrow Today.”
